Chapter 316
Ye Fei thought for a while, then said, "But I have not started my own business before, and I would like to ask your opinion. After all, in this respect, you are more professional."
Lin Qingwan did not hesitate to say, "I have no opinion. But there is one thing, I'll inject capital into this venture, and in return, I want fifty-one percent of the shares. In other words, I'm going to be chairwoman."
Ye Fei was stunned. He did not expect that Lin Qingwan was so ruthless in business.
Ye Fei wanted to start the security company not to make money for himself but to find a place for veterans who couldn't find work. Therefore, he was happy that Lin Qingwan wanted to help contribute to this goal by buying shares and supporting his business.
However, Ye Fei was penniless. Lin Qingwan wanted 51 percent of the shares. What about his own remaining 49 percent?
After being silent for a moment, Ye Fei said, "Qingwan, if you want to be chairwoman, I am very happy about that. The problem is, I don't have much money to buy the remaining 49 percent of the shares."
"I'll give you all the money. You'll be manager and I'll be chairwoman," Lin Qingwan said with a smile.
"Qingwan... You..."
Ye Fei was stunned again, this time because of Lin Qingwan's generosity.
He knew Lin Qingwan was not a generous person, especially when it came to business.
However, she had agreed to give Ye Fei the remaining 49 percent shares for nothing, which moved him deeply.
"It's nothing," Lin Qingwan said seriously. "Ye Fei, you've been my bodyguard, but you're also my friend. We haven't known each other long, but it's been long enough for us to understand each other. But, you know, the reason I'm willing to take a stake in this company is not because of our relations.h.i.+p. It's because I really trust you. Sooner or later, you will become a successful businessman."
Hearing Lin Qingwan's evaluation, Ye Fei could not help laughing, and he said, "Qingwan, are you in love with me?"
"Of course not!" she said gently, her face charmingly turning red. Then she immediately changed the topic by pulling out her checkbook and asking, "How much money do you need now? I'll write you a check."
"Well, I don't know, probably more than one
Ye Fei scratched his head. He really knew nothing about doing business.
"It's not easy to do business in Shanghai. I'll write you a check for three million."
When Ye Fei took this check from her, he felt a little overwhelmed and a little guilty. Plus, he'd borrowed one and a half million yuan from Lin Qingwan before, so now he owed her nearly five million.
If his company went bankrupt, he did not know how he would return the money.
However, with the money in his hand, Ye Fei immediately went to find Xu Haifeng.
He was in desperate need of a right-hand man, and with one more person to help him, things would move a bit faster.
Originally Ye Fei thought that after he told them about it, Xu Haifeng, Da Wu and Xiao Wu would all want to help him.
But unexpectedly, Xu Haifeng was not interested in joining the security company.
"Brother Fei, it's not that I don't want to help you. But we are protecting Miss Lin now. Besides, you got us this job, so I can't give it up so quickly."
During the time Xu Haifeng had been protecting Lin Lin Xuejiao, he'd made a lot of money. His clothes and sungla.s.ses were all brand-new and he'd started smoking Marlboro cigarettes.
"In that case, do it well."
Ye Fei could not force him. After all, everyone had their own ambitions.
However, now Ye Fei wasn't sure who to have as his right-hand man, so he was a little concerned.
Not that Ye Fei couldn't run a company, but doing it alone would make him very tired.
Fortunately, at this time, Zhao Hongshuo came to find Ye Fei, and when he heard that Ye Fei needed people, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Manager Ye, I have lots of comrades. Trust me, I can find some people to help you."
Zhao Hongshuo immediately made a phone call, then said three of his comrades would meet them at a small restaurant nearby.
This restaurant was not very expensive and the dishes were decently sized, so Zhao Hongshuo and his comrades often came here to eat.
As soon as the three comrades got the invite, they immediately headed over. One rode a broken bike, another walked, and the third took the bus.
As soon as they met, they started to chat.
One said, "Supervisor, I don't know what's happened in this society. It's so hard to find a job!"
"Yes, Supervisor, how are you? I hear you got a good job?"
"Wait, Supervisor, I heard you were hospitalized some time ago and you lost your job. But you have the money to invite us to dinner? Let's chip in together to pay the bill," said the third.
"Yes, I lost my job. But today you don't have to pay, because someone has already paid for it. It's Manager Ye, and you saw him that day at Ya Lai Group."
Zhao Hongshuo pointed to Ye Fei and then did a formal introduction for all of them.
Among the three men, one was called Tang Ye. He was very handsome though not tall.
One was called Chen Mao, and he liked studying electronic equipment.
The last one was called Xu Sande, and he was a good driver.
"Comrades! Let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Fei, and I am also a veteran."
After Ye Fei heard more about these men, he immediately knew they were top talents, and if they joined him, his company would have success.
